St. Louis-born actor Norbert Leo Butz has won Broadway’s equivalent of an Oscar for his performance in the musical version of “Catch Me If You Can.” It’s the second time Butz has won a Tony Award for best actor in a musical. He also won a Tony in 2005.

Butz plays FBI agent Carl Hanratty, who chases con man Frank Abegnale Junior in a musical play based on the 2002 movie of the same name. The role in the movie was played by Tom Hanks.
